Tina Knowles Gets An Upgrade

It looks as though Kris Jenner isn’t the only celebrity mom that desires to keep her appearance youthful to keep up with her beautiful daughters.

Beyonce’s mama has been looking snatched and fierce lately after filing for divorce from Mathew Knowles after 29 years of marriage. According to rumored reports, Bey was feeling that her mother was feeling less than secure about her looks, now that she was back on the market, and decided to give her a surprise ‘boost':

“Beyonce told her mom she knew she was feeling a little insecure about her looks and wanted to do something to make her mom feel better. Tina agreed but only to something subtle. She said she did not want to look stunned or have a frozen smile on her face like the Joker from ‘Batman.’ Beyonce looked into a Lifestyle Lift and they agreed on it.”

In case you are wondering, a ‘Lifestyle lift’ is a mini face lift that is performed in about an hour under local anesthesia. It tightens the jaw line, neck and wrinkles with the result lasting for a few years.

While I do not think the lift was necessary .. Tina looks nice
After the fact. It was not over done. But
Ppl need to stop tryna look younger n just
Age the way god intended. u 65 tryna look 55 but end
Up still looking 65 with a face lift… Shyt is
Pointless

I agree Tina does look a “Little Witchy” LOL, however I’m glad that after what she’s been through with that “Dirty Dog Matthew” she decided to do something for herself, now she’d better watchout because there are other men watching and waiting to “Put A New Ring On It”. You Go Girl!!!

MAMA Tina has always looked beautiful, but I can understand how she feels. To be with someone and then they cheat can make you feel like “dang am I not enough” Its easy to say know your worth but at the same time it does still hurts and make you feel low when you are but in that type of position.

S/N this trey songz pic looks like a WAX figure. IJS

Matty didn’t just start cheating recently he has cheated for years – long before Bey entered the music industry. Hell Tina left him several times and decided to get back/stay together when Destiny Child made it big. So they can play that ‘innocent’ mess if they want to but Matty been a dog. Also, if she was so ‘hurt’ whey did she drop the divorce petition. For the record, they are STILL MARRIED!

p.s., Bey ain’t no better then her Mom because she married a lifetime cheater as well and will not leave him either.

PEOPLE DON’T SEEM T REALIZE THAT SHE LOST HELL OF WEIGHT ALSO AND WEIGHT LOSE CHANGES YOUR LOOK ESP IN THE FACE. LOOK AT JENNIFER HUDSON. EVERYBODY TOTALLY NOTICES HER WEIGHT LOST ESP IN HER FACE. SO MAMA KNOWLES DID A TWO-FER TO HER FACE AND OVER ALL LOOK. AND I’M SURE SHE PROBABLY TOOK YOUNGER PICS TO HER DOCTOR TO GIVE HIM A GUIDE AS TO HOW TO DO HER FACE. REGARDLESS GOOD FOR HER………JENNY JONES!!!

So I guess no one learned from Kanye’s mother even if it’s a lift anything can happen and part of life is getting older and there’s nothing wrong with that.To each his/her own. This showed me that anyone will get surgery when they are not satisfied and no one is off limits.

Wow so to give your mom a boost of confidence on her appearance you suggest a face lift. Wow how very constructive (pun intended). When did we as woman of colour learn that aging is a terrible thingg. I dont know about you all but where I come from a womans beauty illuminates with age. I mean seriously the last thing I would tell my mother when she feels low about her appearance is plastic surgery or whatever hell you call it. What happens in a few years when she due for another fix up? It also makes me wonder if Beyonce herself has had work done. Oh well to each his own but I believe good diet, exercise and plenty of water would have given her a more enriching look. I thought Black dont crack.

To boost my moms confidence and help her get her “swagger back” I sent her to the spa for a day (with the works) and we did some shopping. Even if I had Beyonce money, I dont think i’d suggest any type of surgery for my mom. That’s just me though. To each his own.

Lets not forget this is “rumor report”. . .

I agree Hollyweird terms of getting your swager back are different than the real world i see…and rumor report well it must be the part beyonce did this for her cause the tightness of her “new” face speaks for itself! But to each their own…I wouldnt personally want my mother to do it but maybe Tina was the one pushing it, i dont agree with adjusting what God made but the list is long of those who object…its their face, money and life….it never look natural because its not, so she may not looke stunned but she darn sure looks a little not-herself

+8 songbirdie Reply:November 29th, 2011 at 7:39 pm

Either way its evident she got the procedure done. I don’t think Tina looks that bad now but she was a nice looking woman. She had a softness about her that’s absent now. I’m not against plastic surgery but black women are some of the most beautiful women on the planet. It would saddened me if my mother said she wanted plastic surgery. Hopeful Tina is satisfied with her new look and done with plastic. I would hate to see her mess her face up.

hey Necole since i cant talk about beYAWNce procedures can i talk about your boob job??

No I think what been prissy is doing is fine. You people are always quick to point out other people’s work but when it comes to bey it’s mute I don’t think so if it’s artificial than it’s artificial.

Which one would you choose vanity or life? I think I would choos life. What @Lee is saying is these are dangerous procedures that could cause serious infections or death, all because you dont wanna look your age. Just let nature take its course.

+20 A is for Ashley Reply:November 29th, 2011 at 6:42 pm

I guess no one reads. It clearly says “rumored reports”. For all we know Tina went out and got it done and Beyonce discouraged her. No one knows Bey’s feelings about it because no one has heard anything come out her mouth.

+5 6893 Reply:November 29th, 2011 at 7:13 pm

No we read but Tina has been looking different more like a cat either it’s surgery or makeup.

CREOLEGIRL Reply:November 30th, 2011 at 6:52 pm

We read it…thats why we commented the way we did…we talked about the new face thats clearly there…we came, we read, we saw, we commented..we moved on…

@Lee “Black dont crack” until your own daughter suggests that you get plastic surgery…I hope that isnt true…

Yo, excuse me however Reply:November 30th, 2011 at 12:46 pm

I don’t want to look old ever. If it takes a nip here or a tuck there and I can afford it. i think I would just do it. That’s just me. I have hang ups about looking my age, so far so good. But if i can stop the clock a little bit, I will.

When you are in the public eye 24/7 your needs become different.Regular folk can go to a spa,famous people get “work” done,it’s normal in their world….

Who Cares? Reply:December 6th, 2011 at 4:40 pm

Of course Beyonce has had surgery. She got a nose job before going solo. If you look at her photos before then her nose was wider.

+24 MoniGyrl Reply:November 29th, 2011 at 5:26 pm

People die from complications following all kinds of surgery,
not just plastic surgery. That’s not going to kill an entire industry of medicine.

Tina looks great! I hope she lands a filthy stinking rich, and younger, honey and show Matthew how it’s done!

My whole point is surgery is surgery and it is close because Kanye did the same because his mother wanted to look better just like Tina. I think that anything could have helped her look better rather than surgery but whatever and when you do these kinds of stuff you have to keep on re lifting .

+17 MissBee Reply:November 29th, 2011 at 5:48 pm

Kanye’s mom went against well trained doctor’s advice to not have plastic surgery due to her health. On top of that she has a lot done at once. I think her doctor wasn’t even well qualified anyway. I would have to look at the E! special again to know though.

Okay…. first off she does look like the joker. She look so unnatural and stif in the face. How tragic :/ Instead of teeling her mom to geta facelift she should have said”Mom u are beautiful and perfect the way u are and any Real man will see that” (ugh..annoyed much)

Smh I think it really sucks when people, especially those who some consider beautiful & in reality it’s plastic surgery ! What kind of example is she setting for her daughters. It’s a shame beyonce starting getting plastic surgery lipo, nose jobs, boo b implants…. at such a young age, and I blame tina for not setting better example !I can’t with no one who gets plastic surgery…you gets no points with me !

What gets me is that they want to call it a ” Little” lifestyle lift. A FACE LIFT is a face lift. Tina should be ashamed of herself ! You have daughters who you have always allowed to receive FACE LIFTS, my bad lifestyle lifts, nose jobs, implants, lipo… starting at such young ages….and want to act like they are so beautiful. Set better examples for your GIRLS ! !

OH MY GOSH!! What a coincidence!! I just wrote a paper about the Lifestyle Lift clinics and I have to do a presentation about it tomorrow. From my research, Lifestyle Lift is not exactly the best place to go……

Tina didn’t need any work done, but it’s her life. If she likes it, I love it…….

Many patients have had permanent disfigurement & that has led to even more problems, such as financial burdens and emotional distress. Go to Youtube, type in “lifestlye lift” in the search box, then click on the first video. There are 7 more videos that
go along with the first one.

I believe the clinics in GA and South FL are the ones being criticized. Do a lot of research before you make any decisions!! Good luck!!

Well she effed up cuz mama don’t look natural. She looks hard in the face now, kinda like Nicole, Eddie Murphy’s ex. Tina was naturally beautiful before. She just could have lost a little weight and it would have given her a more youthful look! BAD CHOICE!

All she had to do was cut her hair, into a style more appropriate for her age! Find a diet plan to assist her with toning and getting in shape and last but most important….. Stop having stuff pop up that frighten the shit out of her… Like Jayz face. Beyonce when you visit your moms, go alone.

TINA IS AMAZINGLY STUNNING AT HER AGE! BUT ON ANOTHER NOTE,,,,SHE NEEDS TO GET HER CHILD THE COUNSELING SHE NEEDS!!! BECAUSE ANYONE WHO PRETENDS TO BE PREGNANT,,GOT CAUGHT WITH A FOLDING N HALF FAKE ASS BELLY!!!,,,AND STILL GOIN ON WITH THE LIE!SMH,,,THAT GIRL REALLY IS PSYCHOLOGICALLY FUKD UP N THE HEAD!!!! SMH,,,THAT GIRL IS SOOO VAIN ITS DISGUSTING!

*sigs* Why can’t we as a society just let nature take it’s course. All this pulling and tightening
cutting, and injecting of the skin, as well as putting foreign objects in to “enhance” your body i.e. boob jobs, buttock implants, is not natures way of the aging process. We women have been brainwashed to think everything in life revolves around our “beauty” . Instead of trying to stop & slow down God’s process of life, why can’t we learn to love & appreciate it? -food for thought-

I find it had that the very people who tell you that beauty is what’s inside are the same ones encouraging people to have work done. It’s not a life threatening issue so why not leave mother nature alone and age gracefully. In most cultures wrinkles and age are revered because it shows that you have really lived life. Why change what is natural? Now she’s going to keep having more of these surgeries because she will begin to have more insecurities. Just live people, but I guess that’s what happens when you have money blowing out the wahzoo, happiness begins to decline.

Ugh,some of ya’ll are haters! Some of y’all have weaves,wear make up,have fake nails,fake eye lashes,girdles,high heels,padded bras? If there was a way to do these mdifications permenantly you would and its within your tight. Now I’m not earnestly comparing platic surgery versus make up but conceptually they are the same. Altering your physical appearence for whatever purpose. Its local aneastesia,there’s very little health risk so let that woman live! Jealousy is really ugly. If you were on top of your game you wouldn’t have the time to worry about the next womans face. Fix yours!

I’m cosigning u cuz it’s true. Some people just mad they can’t afford to have surgery cuz if u do wear all that nonsense its for validation. It’s like the people who change their profile pic on fb everyday ajust to see who likes it and whatnot. Did u change from yesterday or the day before do u really stop and take that many damn pics. If u want surgery knock urself out someone said what kind of example does that set for ur daughters u mean the grown ass already do what they want daughters??? Say u wouldn’t do it but dont get all self righteous and whatnot….

I will say this: I DO NOT believe plastic surgery is for Black Folks. Exhibit A: Michael Jackson. Exhibit B: The REST of the Jacksons.

If my Mom came to me talmbout she was feeling down and insecure and I had BEYONCE-type money… we’d be on an island getting massaged by men, drinkin’ mimosa’s and shopping. I think my Mom would slap my face and feel SUPER offended if I offered her Lifestyle Lift. Then again, if she and her Mom are cut from the same cloth, Miss Tina may have taken as the gift Beyonce intended. Strikes me as superficial though.

I dunno if Beyonce really suggested or even offered to get her mom a facelift, ( but if she did, I think it’s an inappropriate message to mothers and daughters) but I am kind of sad she felt she needed a “lift” just to feel younger. I am 100% agaisnt surgery that is not for a definitive reason (rhinoplasty due to a deviated septum, one eye bigger than the other, etc etc)
I thought Tina looked better without the surgery. She looked more fresh and natural
Now she looks all squeezed and stretched in the face.

O_o
I guess, but I’d never suggest a facelift to any of my family, especially my beautiful mother.
Plus, we don’t need it anyway. My grandmother is 88 not looking a day over 55. And my mother is 53 yrs old and she could pass for a 30 yr old woman with right type of care to her body.

I already know this post is about to get ugly but I’m not going to judge her because we don’t know what her mother wanted or how she felt. Truthfully I have been to this point with my own mother. So I can relate. No I didn’t suggest for my mom to get surgery but than again my mom didn’t want to either. I just helped her get a better diet and we also started to work out together. We get our hair done and go to the spa frequently and just little things that make her feel good. Insecurity is something that comes from within though. No matter how much nipping and tucking or just trying to change something on the outside if you’re not truthfully satisfied with yourself you will never be secure in your own skin. However I’m not against plastic surgery. If there is something that really bothers you that you would like to change I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s when people go over board and try and use it as a source to completely change every insecurity about themselves.Which is impossible and most of the times end of making them look unnatural and inhuman. It shouldn’t be used that way.

This story says “According to rumored reports” which means this story is just a rumor. How do we know that she didn’t want to get the work done herself how do we know that Beyonce told her she should do it as a gift?

Work it Ms Tina…….Im all for a nip tuck if its not overly done….Mama Tina you will never please the masses so do what makes you feel great about yourself

Yall kill me…If you don’t want it done..don’t do it but to criticize her for wanting to help mother nature along the way is what she wanted and its ok people…its not your face your money or your daughter….I can guarantee if it were more affordable, more people would get something done

Her face looks like she got a procedure done- I have never seen anyone around her age with facial skin that tight; she looks too defined in the face ( chin and jaw line are sharp looking) for me to believe she hasn’t done anything.

Hell, I am 24 and my jawline and skin does not look like that. It looks like she had cheek implants and a face lift.

Some say she looks lik a witch either way, some have always said she needed plastic surgery, & the rest say she should never have touched her face to begin with but it is HER face & the person we see in photos mean nothing to what she sees in the mirror. Its easy for us to criticize because no one follows us around with cameras & we don’t have high profile events & appearances to step out at like she does so its hard to understand the pressure I guess 4 a lot of ppl. If I was constantly being photographed I might be extra self conscious of my physical appearance too. In the end, you have to do what makes u feel gud…btw am I the only one who seriously hopes ole beybye didn’t really offer plastic surgery to her mom?! As if she couldn’t make that decision on her own!

All she needed to do was lose some weight; getting your scalp pulled back is a little much. She got the face horror movies are made of now. She’s not ugly, but let’s just say I wouldn’t want to run into her in a dark alley.

this sounds like something kim kardashian would do to her mom, not something bey would do but w.e idk im gonna assume this site got their sources. to me, plastic surgery should never be an option unless you were in an accident or something like that.

Suggest a facelift to your mother or anyone in that matter is NEVER okay….
She first has to love herself from the INSIDE for her to love her OUTSIDE. She will view herself the same, even after this procedure…. sadly.

I’m sorry, I find nothing wrong with her before picture. Her before looks better imo..and for those describing her snatched look as praying mantis/ventriloquist/witchy…I concur. Why the hell are people so incredibly superficial? Be glad you’re getting some sagging and wrinkles here and there, it’s a sign of you living longer than many have.

PEOPLE DON’T SEEM T REALIZE THAT SHE LOST HELL OF WEIGHT ALSO AND WEIGHT LOSE CHANGES YOUR LOOK ESP IN THE FACE. LOOK AT JENNIFER HUDSON. EVERYBODY TOTALLY NOTICES HER WEIGHT LOST ESP IN HER FACE. SO MAMA KNOWLES DID A TWO-FER TO HER FACE AND OVER ALL LOOK. AND I’M SURE SHE PROBABLY TOOK YOUNGER PICS TO HER DOCTOR TO GIVE HIM A GUIDE AS TO HOW TO DO HER FACE. REGARDLESS GOOD FOR HER………JENNY JONES!!!

Ms Tina was/is a BEAUTIFUL woman she was aging very gracefully no need for the surgery…I guess the pressures of being around young people and being in the spot light not to mention you husband cheating on you and having a baby within you marriage takes a toll on you…but no matter how much you change the outside the inside stays the same

We see what happened to Lil Kim (that girl had a tough life especially with the men in her life) she now has a whole new HEAD and you can still see her insecurities shine thru when will people get the idea

THE PROBLEM IS ONCE YOU START NIPPING & TUCKING YOU HAVE TO KEEP DOING IT. UNFORTUNATELY MANY WOMEN DON’T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT & START GETTING MORE & MORE DONE. A LITTLE IS NO LONGER ENOUGH & THEY END UP LOOKING WORSE AFTER PLASTIC SURGERY INSTEAD OF BETTER (LIL’ KIM & VIVICA FOX). JUST DON’T DO IT. EAT RIGHT, WORK OUT, DRINK LOTS OF WATER & YOU CAN AGE VERY WELL. ALL THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY GET MISTAKEN FOR BEING 10-15 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE BECAUSE THEY TOOK GREAT CARE OF THEMSELVES. BLACK WOMEN AGE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER RACE ANYWAY. YOU DON’T NEED ALL THAT MESS. SAVE THAT FOR THE OTHERS.

This is crazy or maybe its just me. The pics of her mom face surfaced last year………………..this is nothing new. Wendy Williams put it out like last year or earlier this year, but I def believe it was last year

Ur damn right! She looks good…r man got pregnant another woman much younger than r…I think she should just keep UP…r face…and everything! im young…but when i start to get older yall DAMN RIGHT i will start to get ma face back ! i think w´ll can do watever we wont with ower money…if u have it a lot our not!

We sure it just stopped at the “face”? She’s been looking hella skinny lately as well…. just saying… Naturally beautiful woman sans the lift though but hope she’s feeling good about it’s results nevertheless. Leaving behind 29 years of a man and his multiple infidelities might make me want to “lift my life” some too shidddd. Do you Tina!

First of all this story is BOGUS and STUPID because it came from Mediatakeout’s uglier sister Bossip.You know if Beyonce said ANYTHING to her mother about her looks its noe wt going to get out and Beyonce that girls heart is with her mother if youve seen the way she looks and speaks about her mother you would know that. I saw that Bossip has been making jokes calling Tina “the joker” a few years back so they made this up,Necole dont post they garbage.

Second..Im sorry Ms.Tina may look a tad “frozen” but she looks good.She lost weight which was probably all she really needed to do but Matthew messed up cause his wife looks way better than that Barney the Dinosaur lady he made a baby with.(wow people even blame Beyonce for what her MOTHER does.1st she is the blame for other grown women and their career mistakes now for an older womans choice to get work done?DAAAAMMMN lol girl cannot catch a break)
